Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 945 5711 3591 Passcode: PHILA CIOs lead in environments defined by complexity, competing priorities, and constant pressure to deliver transformation—but even the best-planned initiatives stall when culture is misaligned. Technology can only move as fast as the organization’s cultural posture allows, and most leaders underestimate how early this misalignment begins. In this virtual masterclass, transformation strategist and former CIO Darrel Popowich reveals why Culture Clash—the gap between how individuals lead and how the organization actually operates—quietly undermines execution long before projects falter — often showing up first as slowed decision-making, unclear priorities, or value leakage.. CIOs and IT leaders will learn how to diagnose hidden cultural contradictions, spot early signs of drift, and realign their teams to the organization’s true strategic intent. Using the CRAFT framework’s Culture component, Darrel shows IT leaders how to translate strategy into behavior, create clarity in decision-making, and shift teams from activity to meaningful progress. Attendees leave with practical tools they can apply immediately to reduce friction, increase alignment, and give their transformation efforts the cultural foundation they need to succeed. - Identify early cultural misalignments that quietly erode transformation momentum.
- Diagnose the gap between individual leadership behavior and organizational cultural reality — the root of Culture Clash.
- Apply the Culture element of the CRAFT framework to create clearer decision pathways and reduce friction.
- Realign teams and leaders quickly before cultural drift becomes a full transformation stall.
